I have looked at web sites from A to Z trying to find a senior roommate. Most all of them want money to join or it's a dating site. Can anyone offer any suggestions. I live in Richardson, Texas if that helps in anyway.

Try "roommates dot com". You need to create a profile, which is free, but perhaps it will benefit. Also, have you tried placing an ad on Craigslist in your area? I'm a landlord who's had great luck renting thru CL. In fact, it's now the only resource I use if I need a tenant & it's free.

Hi Pat. . .my name is Patti, and I live in California. . .have thought of moving to Texas because my Dad and sister & family live close to Austin. How far is Richardson, Tx. from the Austin area? And have you found a roommate yet?
Thanks for your reply. . .

I plan a move to AZ in January. I will be 62 and retiring. The websites I have tried are misleading... wanting information for their site, but there is really nothing there to search. I thought a roommate to start with would be a good idea until I am familiar with everything. I haven't thought of Texas. I would like a higher elevation. I have also considered several seniors leasing a larger home. It could be fun. I currently live in IL.

Just a fyi - the previous posts are over 2+ years old, maybe checking a homesharing website or Craigslist or even your local seniors group would help you find a compatible roommate - but make sure you do a thorough background check, would get ref's etc.
